Chinese Man eats 1,500 lightbulbs

Wang Xianjun, living in the Xitan community in Linshui County, Sichuan province, is a complete and total "eccentric" in the eyes of his neighbors. It is common for people to have rice or steamed buns for the breakfast, but Wang likes to eat an extra light bulb. The 54-year-old man started eating light bulbs at the age of 12, and has eaten approximately 1,500 bulbs over the past 42 years.

Wang regards himself as open-minded. When he was 12 years old, he accidentally swallowed a fish bone, and his parents became very worried. To their surprise, Wang did not feel uncomfortable at all. Then out of curiosity, he boldly picked up a piece of broken glass, and felt no adverse effects after eating it.

From then on, he began practicing eating light bulbs. He only dared to eat a small piece of glass at the beginning, but as time passed, he became addicted to eating bulbs. However, he does not eat bulbs every day. He sometimes only eats bulb splinters at breakfast, and at most, one bulb each time.

Girl survives worlds deadliest box jellyfish sting Australia

A ten-year-old girl has become the first person ever to have survived sting an attack from a lethal box jellyfish, the world's most venomous creature.

Rachael Shardlow was stung by the creature while swimming in the Calliope River, near Gladstone, in Queensland, Australia.

Rachael's 13-year-old brother pulled her on to the riverbank. She told him she could not see or breathe, and fell unconscious with the jellyfish's tentacles still strapped to her limbs.

Zoology and tropical ecology associate professor at James Cook University, Jamie Seymour, says the girl's survival after such an extensive sting is unheard of.

'I don't know of anybody in the entire literature where we've studied this where someone has had such an extensive sting that has survived,' he told ABC news in Australia.

'When I first saw the pictures of the injuries I just went, 'you know to be honest, this kid should not be alive. I mean they are horrific.

Usually when you see people who have been stung by box jellyfish with that number of the tentacle contacts on their body, it's usually in a morgue.'

Associate professor Seymour says the university is interested to see how long it takes for Rachael to recover, as well as whether there are any long-term effects.

'From our point of view it's really useful information that you very seldom, if ever, get your hands on,' he told the Aussie TV station.

Rachael's father, Geoff Shardlow, says his daughter has scarring as well as some short-term memory loss.

'We've noticed a small amount of short-term memory loss, like riding a pushbike to school and forgetting she's taken a pushbike,' he said.

'The greatest fear was actual brain damage [but] her cognitive skills and memory tests were all fine.'

Mr Shardlow says it is vital there are more jellyfish warning signs erected throughout central Queensland.

Two-Headed Bobtail Lizard

Two-headed bobtail lizard found in Australia

It's been a while since we've had a decent two-headed animal on these pages. So, without further ado, we proudly present… the two-headed lizard.

The two-headed bobtail (a type of skink native to Australia, also known as the Shingleback) was rescued in Coogee, New South Wales, by workers from a reptile park.

Now housed at the reptile park in Henley Brook, Perth, it's doing well - despite the fact that two-headed lizards tend to not have very long life expectancies.

The lizard - which doesn't just have two heads, but has a set of forelegs on either side of each head - is even able to eat with both mouths.

The major downside of having two heads is that it makes moving around quite difficult, and the larger of the two heads has a tendency to try and attack the smaller head.

The bobtail's brother, who has just the one head, is also housed at the park.

Man has 12 fingers and 14 toes

Haramb Ashok Kumthekar Indian man is proud of the 12 fingers and 14 toes which have put him in the record books.

Rather than feel self conscious about the way he was born, Haramb Ashok Kumthekar has always celebrated his extra digits.

The 24-year-old business graduate was born with six fingers on each hand and seven toes on each foot.

This means he is the unofficial record holder for the most recorded number of fingers and toes on a living person.

However, he does not hold the Guinness world record which is held by fellow countryman Devendra Harne, who has 12 fingers and 13 toes on his feet.

Haramb does not hold the official record because, technically, some of his fingers are attached and are not classed as separate digits.

However, he is recognised by the Indian equivalent of the Guinness Book of Records, the Limca Book of Records.

Haramb's extra fingers and toes are caused by the medical condition polydactlyism, which comes from the Greek for "many fingers".

While each of Haramb's extra fingers and toes have separate bones, they don't all boast nerve endings and he is unable to move them or feel them all properly.

And while he is proud of his extra digits, Haramb admits that it can be frustrating at times, especially when it comes to finding shoes for his feet or gloves for his hands.

Hen produces figure eight-shaped egg

Hen lays figure eight-shaped egg in China

A hen in China has produced a soft-shelled egg in the shape of a figure eight.
Mrs Dong, of Shijiazhuang, northern China's Hebei province, first suspected something unusual when she heard the hen making unusual noises one night.

"I had never heard anything like it before. When I approached she stopped making the noise but as soon as I left she started again," she said.

"The next morning, I was so surprised to find the weird-shaped egg in the hen's cage."

Mrs Dong said her neighbours had all been coming around to her home to see the egg for themselves.

She has decided not to sell or eat the egg but is keeping it, preserved in a box, because it is so unusual.

Professor Wu Yuefeng of Hebei University's Life Science department, said: "It's very rare to see such a weird-shaped egg.

"This will be the result of a lack of calcium in the hen's diet which has prevented it from creating a hard shell."

Håvve Fjell Feels No Pain

Håvve Fjell A Man Who Feels No Pain

Håvve Fjell tries to prove that he doesn't feel pain. Crazy shows of this Norwegian are dazzling, it even seems that it is impossible! Not for sensitive souls.

Håvve Fjell is a performance artist from Oslo, Norway. He began experimenting with his pain tolerance by cutting and burning himself as a teenager, but it wasn't until he read Modern Primitives that he realized he was not alone and could finally be proud of his urges.

After forming Pain Solution in 1993, Fjell was able to share his art with an increasing number of people, and more people still got to see his work in "Kvintett," a series of 5 performance pieces which took place at an art gallery in Oslo. These pieces recieved a great deal of media attention, as the original venue thought his plans were too extreme and backed out, so Håvve displayed one of his pieces—himself, mummified in plaster banadages—outside the front steps of the museum as a protest against this censorship.

Fjell has achieved a great level of fame and respect in his home country, and has even participated in a seminar on self-harm alongisde medical professionals.

Fjell has been hosting an annual suspension event in Oslo, called Wings of Desire since 2002.

Fjell has written the book Ten Years of Pain about his experiences as a performer, and it is available at the BMEshop
